And the Oscar Goes To...






It's up to you! Below is a list of all the house names the readers have submitted. Let me know which ones you like the most. I've heard from the house-builders that they are somewhat leery of using blue in the title just because what if they want to paint it another color down the road. Keep that in mind. Also, as you can see, we have more pictures today. Shout out to my photographer. I think we're in the home stretch.
1. 7 West [isnt the house 7 doors west of hewes? if it's 6, then scratch it because 6 doesnt have the ring of 7.]

2. Aisling House [Aisling means dream in Gaelic]

3. Azure

4. Blueberry Hill

5. Blue Monday

6. Blue Bayou

7. Bonnie Blue Bungalow

8. Casa Cassady

9. Cassady Casa

10. Easter House (better holiday than Thanksgiving, which is for the 'yang-kees'; plus will be the first true holiday celebrated there; also, good for the color and a general sign of being a grateful person)
11. Fema Trailer

12. Katrina's Offspring

13. Maison Bleu

14. My Blue Heaven

15. Paddy's Pad (better if painted green)

16. Paint It Blue

17. Take Two

18. Tangled Up In Blue

19. Cois Dara (the i has the Gaelic slant over it) ...classic Irish house name. roughly translates to "Coast Oak Tree", which is kind of weird, but could be good for a house on second street. plus the gaelic is so pretty, who cares what it translates to. i'm not really sure how to pronounce celtic/gaelic words, but i bet we could find out exactly how to say it.

20. Second 626 Second

22. Second Heaven

23. True Blue

24. TWO BLUE
25. Monkey Hill [the highest point in new orleans is monkey hill in the audubon zoo]
26. Waterproof
27. Top O' the Hill [this is actually the name of a bar in chapel hill, but since the house is on a man-made hill of sorts, i thought it worked...]
28. Strawberry Fields [beatles, obviously]
29. Octopus's Garden [since the garden of the octopus is IN the sea and this house is BY the sea, then i thought why not... i was on a beatles thing]

We will also happily accept more suggestions.
